Transcript: Airborne Supplements

New game: Scam or no scam. Airborne immune boosting supplements. Not only a “#1 best seller in the USA,” but was “created by a school teacher,” exclamation point! Scam, Or no scam? August 2008 the company was nailed by the FTC and is now paying $30 million for lying to the public in one of the largest consumer fraud cases in American history.

Doctor's Note

Please feel free to post any ask-the-doctor type questions here in the comments section and I’d be happy to try to answer them. And check out the other videos on snake oil. Also, there are 1,449 other subjects covered in the rest of my videos--please feel free to explore them as well!

Dear Dr. Greger,

would you please talk about B17 supplements in one of your videos?

I thank you very much, Alfredo

Toxins

Vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile, is neither a real vitamin nor a cancer cure. It has been shown to be worthless.

It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition. The FDA seeks jail sentences for anyone selling laetrile for cancer treatment, calling it a “highly toxic product that has not shown any effect on treating cancer.”

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that amygdalin have an anticancer effect via downregulation of cell cycle-related genes in SNU-C4 human colon cancer cells, and might be used for therapeutic anticancer drug.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21756879 CONCLUSION: Our data showed amygdalin could attenuate the development of atherosclerosis by suppressing inflammatory responses and promoting the immunomodulation function of Tregs. The effects of amygdalin ultimately resulted in the enlarged lumen area and the loss of atherosclerotic plaque. All these data indicated the therapeutic potential of amygdalin in preventing and/or treating of atherosclerosis.

Here, we have shown that amygdalin induces apoptotic cell death in human DU145 and LNCaP prostate cancer cells by caspase-3 activation through down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax. The present study reveals that amygdalin may offer a valuable option for the treatment of prostate cancers.

Thank you for this site. I have recently become vegan and your site has informed and validated my choice. How wonderful to learn of the great nutrition in the strawberry and the simple white button mushroom! As for the request of topics, perhaps you can speak on Interstitial cystitis (a condition a close friend suffers from) or healthiest low-acid foods. Thanks again!

What would you suggest for someone who doesn’t have any problem to fall asleep , but only sleeps a few hours and then wakes up can’t go back to sleep. Does not take any sleeping pills only natural products.
